ALMOST A RIOT.
Exciting Scenes During the Commercial
Union Debate In Toronto.

Exciting Scenes During the Commercial
Union Debate In Toronto.
TORONTO, ONT, May 20.-The closing
scenes at the meeting of the Board Of Trade
last night were extremely exciting.
The discussion of the question Of CON-
mercial union with the United States had
stirred up the blood of the contending fac
tions so that the first motion for an ad-
journment of the debate was the signal for
an outburst of the pent-up impatience and
excitement which found free play for an
hour.
B. C. Stewart asked leave to move that
the Board meet Mr.. Butterworth on his
intended visit Loud cries were raised Of
1--WE don't want stranger to instruct
u.s." and remarks were shouted that his
coming was an insult to the commercial
men of Toronto.
A scene OF confusion followed. Motions
to adjourn were put and lost. A large
number Of those present arose and were
leaving the hall when the chairman put
Mr.. Macdonalds resolution, which was
carried by an overwhelming majority. The
previous question was then moved, and as
this would cut off Mr.. Darling from reply
ing, howls and yells were raised against it
The question, was, however, put and ear
ried, after which wild rush was made for
the doors, several of the members leaping,
roaring and throwing their hats in the air,
while the loyal coterie" took possession
of the floor and shouted the national
anthem at the top of their voices.
The chairman's ruling in putting the
motion and the previous question was
challenged, but the result of the meeting
practically closes the discussion Of the
question Of reciprocity by the Board.

IN DRY GOODS
ALIEN LANDLORDISM

Agitates the Illinois sLawmakerS-A Wran-
gle and Suspicion of Doodle.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL, May 20.-There
was lively wrangle in the House yester-
day, in which Representative Pierce OPEN
ly charged that he had discovered the
footprints of Lord Scully, the Irish land
lord who owns 10000 acres in Logan
county, and is, it is alleged, misusing his
tenants there.
His Lordship lives beyond The seas and
does his business through an agent in the
usual English style. Mr.. Pierce indicated
that the situation savored very much ofIll-
gotten gains.
In all five bills have been introduced in
the assembly on this question. The au-
thors and those interested met in secret
conference not long since and agreed to
consolidate on one bill and to amend it.
Representative Pierce did not agree with
the proposals. Yesterday, Mr.. Decker, of
Cook county, was found to be in charge of
the conference amendments, and managed,
when the bill was called up, to get ahead
of Mr.. Pierce in proposing them.
Mr.. Pierce charged that the Decker
amendments had been gotten up in the in
terest of Lord Scully, and wanted the
House to have them all read, also those
which he proposed, but Mr.. Decker refused
to show his hand beyond one amendment
at time. A good deal of excitement was
created, and the bill, with all pending
amendments, was finally referred to the
Judiciary Committee.
1t is said here that Lord Scully's agent
has obtained the highest legal advice in
the State rs to the effect of the proposed
bill should it become a law, and about two
or three weeks ago started with it for Eng
land. Since then the cable has been used
between him and those who represented
his interests here. Lord Scully's agent is
held to have opened up negotiations be-
tween certain parties and his lOrdship that
will scarcely bear the light of day. If all
that Mr.. Pearce predicts comes to pass
there may be a sensation in connection
with this matter before long.

KINGSTON, ONT, May 20.-At Ottawa,
this morning Editor William O'Brien paid
visit to the University, where he re-
ceived an ovation and address from the
students. Mr.. O'Brien replied in pleas
ing and flattering reply. The party then
drove to the railroad station TO catch the
1875 p. m. train for Kingston,
where, it was said, the Orange

warn" reception to the party. In the
same car with O'Brien were Lady Mac

and Sir Leonard Tilley, Lieutenant Cover
nor of New Brunswick. Fifty miles out
from here the Kingston reception commit
tee met the train and returned here with
the party. As the train slowed up at the
station on the Place d'Armes it was
seen that large crowd had as
sembled there. As Mr.. O'Brien stepped
out of the car, he was in the
much talked of Kingston, the Derry OF
Canada" as it is called. Kingston has
population of 10, 900, of whom 5000 are
Catholics. There are only eight policemen
and all of them in command of Chief
Norsey, were in waiting To the surprise
of Mr.. O'Brien and the rest Of the party,
not a dissentient voice was heard in the
storms of cheers which arose as Mr..
O'Brien entered the carriage.

Comptroller Durham to-day disallowed the
claim Of W. r. Spear, an undertaken of
this city, for 81, 800 for services at the
funeral of eN- President Garfield A point
war raised in this case that the claim was

therefore WAS not affected by the act of
Congress OF August >, lSS2, appointing q
board OF audit To settle the claims growing
out OF the sickness and burial of President

Bord because OF the claimants failure to
comply with the requirements OF the act.

Special telegram to the REGISTER.
ROMNEY, w. VA, May 20.-The Cir
cult Court has been in session here since
the 10th inst. The grand jury adjourned
without finding single indictment The
Court has been occupied with business of
minor and merely local Importance until
to-day, when the case of the State v. Ann
Offner, for the murder of Brooks, on the
lst day of last August, was taken up. A
jury was empaneled without difficulty, and
the State has gotten through with three or
four witnesses 1t is difficult to see how a
conviction can be secured by the circum-
stances as far as developed. The evidence
goes thus far to the finding of the body of
Brooks. Near by were marks, as if Of per
sons on the ground-toe prints in the dirt,
and marks OF the knees and elbow. The
defense will try to show that these indica-
tiOns are the result of a theory of the case,
and are the merest surmise.
The election passed off quietly as usual
here. ShaweD, the present incumbent, has
been reelected County Superintendent.
The election of Judge Faulkner to the
Senate gives general satisfaction, though
Mr.. Lucas has many warm friends here
who would be glad to see him in that ex-
alted station.

MOB OF 800 STRIKERS
ATTACK N0N-UNI0N MBN IN THE PENN
SYLyANIA COKE FIELD
And Brutality Beat Thsm-Fatal Results Probable
Considerable Property DeStOyed-A POSss
For the SceDe-fhe Building Strike in
GhicasO-0ther Labor News.

EyERsoN, Pa, May 20.-A serious
phase in the coke strike was developed
this morning, when a mob of three hun
dred miners, marching in a body, and
generally armed with bludgeons, suddenly
appeared on the coke yard at the Jimtown
works of Colonel SchoOnmaker.
Without warning they made savage at
tack on little knot of men who were en-
gagged in drawing out the coke from the
ovens there.
This coke has been in the ovens since the
strike commenced and some eight or ten
laborers had been engaged TO draw it out.
While so engaged this mob suddenly
rushed in on them and brutally attacked
them. Such of the laborers as could moi
escape were cruelty beaten, one man hav'
ing both arms broken and being so badly
kicked that his life is despaired of. Six
men altogether were beaten very severely,
All the barrows and tools used in the
works were destroyed by the mob.
A RAID ON COCHRAN's WORKS.
Having effectually accomplished theil
mission at Jimtown, the rioters marched
through Dawson and across the Youghio-
gheny river to the works of James Cochran
& Sons.
Mr.. Cochran's sons, assisted by some
non-union men, had watered out the ovens
of this firm and drawn the coke from few
ovens, and the anger of the mob was direct
ed against them. Fortunately the hour
was early and no one was yet working on
Cochrans' yards at Nellie and Clarissa, but
the mob, in absence of human victims,
wreaked their vengeance upon the coke
wagons and tools at those works, destroy.
ing all such movable property they could
lay hands on. After this they scattered,
their work being accomplished, and at this
hour are struggling off to their homes
though large number are still congregated
in the reighborhood of COchran's works.
SHERIFF MILLER STARTS FOR THE SCENE.
Sheriff Miller has been wired and is now
on his way to Dawson with posse. He is
an old soldier, man of nerve and will
wear no kid gloves in dealing with the
creatures guilty of such devilish work this
morning
The mob was from Wheeler, Trotter and
Leisenring, and was composed chiefly Of
Hungarians and negroes. The action Of
this morning, it is said, was decided upon
in an open meeting of the men held yes
terday afternoon at the Trotter works
Great indignation is expressed by all good
citizens at the outrageous work, and the
Sheriff will have no difficulty in getting
aid to suppress such deeds and arrest the
actOrS engaged in them.

And the pain al my inYsFds, oh, naught could

Though tears of disgust from my eyeballs it
